Cog of Destiny (Japanese: 運命の歯車 Cog of Destiny) is chapter 27 of Eliwood's tale and chapter 29 of Hector's tale in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

Plot

Main article: Cog of Destiny/Script

If Chapter 26xE/28xH was not played, a brief scene will play depicting Sonia reporting to Nergal about the collapse of the Black Fang. Nergal is disappointed in Sonia as her failure to kill Zephiel prompted King Desmond to sever all ties with the Black Fang. Additionally, her failure in killing Eliwood, leading to the annihilation of the assassins, only deepens Nergal dissatisfaction. Sonia tries to placate Nergal with the quintessence she retrieved from Brendan Reed when she discovered he was investigating her past. Nergal is initially pleased to have such magnificent quintessence, but his mood sours once he notices Sonia has been injured. Nergal declares he has no need for a defective puppet and kills Sonia before she can insist she is human.

Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn are on the road to the Shrine of Seals. They note how empty the road to the shrine has been, likely due to Queen Hellene ordering her soldiers to leave the group alone; however, just as the Shrine of Seals comes into view, the group is suddenly approached by soldiers of the Black Fang. Depending on who was killed in the aftermath of Chapter 23E/24H, the soldiers will announce they fight under the command of the Mad Dog Linus or the White Wolf Lloyd and tell Eliwood that he will atone for his sins with his blood. If Nino and Jaffar are still alive, Nino will initially be overjoyed that some of the Black Fang members still live but Jaffar holds her back from greeting them. Jaffar notices that the soldiers have an abnormal lust for battle and will likely tear any enemy they encounter to pieces. Moreover, neither of them are Black Fang members any more, increasing the risk of the two being greeted with violence. Nino refuses to give up on a peaceful resolution to the battle and insists that if she can just speak with her brother, they will surely understand and stand down. At this point, battle preparations take place.

As the battle progresses, Vaida arrives on the battlefield, her mind abuzz with doubts over her mission to take out the Lycian lords, especially after they saved Zephiel from his assassination attempt. Vaida eventually catches up with Eliwood/Hector and calls out to them. She first attempts to confirm that the Lycian lords truly did rescue Zephiel. Vaida takes the lord’s bewilderment at her finding out as confirmation that she was indeed correct. Since the lords saved Zephiel, Vaida says she owes them and requests to join their ranks, though, Eliwood and Hector are unsure as to whether or not they can truly trust her. Vaida, acknowledging her word is of little value to the lords, decides to prove her loyalty by helping them rout the last of the Black Fang members, thus, making Vaida a member of Eliwood’s company - temporarily, at least.

Once the group reaches the last of the Four Fangs, Nino calls out to her brother and attempts to persuade them to stand down. Both brothers reject her pleas to end the violence and are deaf to her insistence that Eliwood is neither the evil man Sonia said he was nor the killer of the other Reed brother. Briefly after the conversation, her brother dies at the hands of her companions. Nino is beside herself with grief and finds a place to mourn her brother away from the others, Jaffar at her side to comfort her.

Meanwhile, Athos warps to the Shrine of Seals to greet the lords. After congratulating the group on proving their strength and their worthiness to wield a legendary item, he takes them to see another living legend who resides underneath the shrine, Bramimond. In order to obtain the power needed to defeat Nergal, the group must convince Bramimond to release the seals on the regalia. The lords make their request of Bramimond to release the seals; however, Bramimond quickly rebuffs their plea, believing they will be driven to madness by the power of the legendary weapons. Eliwood nevertheless persists in his request and simply asks that the ancient mage believe in them. Bramimond notes how much Eliwood reminds him of one of the heroes of legend that it once fought alongside.

Ninian transfers her power to Nils.

This connection as well as Eliwood’s apparent ability to resist the allure of power, convinces Bramimond to release the seals on the regalia sealed all across Elibe. Having succeeded in their task, the lords and Athos return to the surface near the Shrine of Seals, only for Nergal to finally restore his power and suddenly warp to the group. Nergal demands that Ninian and Nils accompany him to the Dragon's Gate lest he demonstrate his renewed power on their allies, prompting Ninian to decide to sacrifice herself to provide the others a chance to obtain the means to defeat Nergal. Seemingly unaware of Bramimond’s actions, Nergal says that Ninian alone should be sufficient. Before departing, Ninian entrusts Nils to protect and support Eliwood in her stead by transferring her power to him. As Nergal departs, he betrays his agreement with Ninian to leave the others alive and attempts to kill them with a powerful magic attack. Athos blocks the blast with a barrier and prevents any casualties. Athos then sends the group off to Ostia*, the resting place of the hero Roland and Durandal, or the Western Isles* where Durban and Armads rest. However, before they leave, Athos grants the party one more Heaven Seal to the main lord. To the surprise of the lords, the Heaven seal finally deems Eliwood/Hector worthy of its power and allows them to promote. Having now experienced the power of Nergal firsthand, the lords continue on with a strengthened resolve to retrieve the legendary weapons unsealed by Bramimond.

Nino can talk to Lloyd or Linus, though this is not a recommended course of action unless the player simply wants to see supplementary dialogue. After Nino talks to the boss, he will no longer be stationary on the throne and will now move to attack anyone in his movement range except for Nino.
